[PATCH 1/3] vhost: fix virtqueue array size for control queue

When max_queue_pairs is set to VHOST_MAX_QUEUE_PAIRS (128), VDUSE
calculates total_queues as max_queue_pairs * 2 + 1 = 257 to account
for the control queue. However, the virtqueue array was sized as
VHOST_MAX_QUEUE_PAIRS * 2, causing an out-of-bounds array access.

Fix by defining VHOST_MAX_VRING to explicitly account for the control
queue (VHOST_MAX_QUEUE_PAIRS * 2 + 1) and using it for the virtqueue
array size.

Fixes: f0a37cc6a1e2 ("vhost: add multiqueue support to VDUSE")
